Another Goocliy Heritage

There have been so many Acad- lnn Bicentennial celebrations this amirnar-and quite properly, since the event they commemorate is an important part of the saga of Can- ada-that it is a little difficult to keep up with them, and very diffi- cult to appraise. even inadequately. their artistic content. Primarily, of eourse. everything pertaining to the bicentennial has a religious basis, the central theme being the courage of a people and the great strength of their faith when faced with what might well have been regardedebut was not--as insuperable tribulation.

The outward manifestations of this religious basis have been. neces- sarily of one pattern: High Mass, sometimes pontifical; recitation of the Rosary; Benediction at. eventide; and, where possible. a solemn pro- cession to some cherished shrine-- each, in its own way, a traditional source of strength to succeeding generations of Christian people. All well disposed persons, whether they be of that tradition or of some other. pause in reverence to any historic faith, by whatever name it may be ealled, that has shown its ability to remove mountains. This one certain- M did that for the Acadians.

The artistic side of the celebra- tion varies, as was to be expected, sooordlng to local talent and facili- ties. But. outsiders (non-Acadians, that in who were present at Mis- courhe last Sunday were emphatic in their praises of everything they new and heard. All the exhibits showed a haste for the truly aesthe- tic as well as a keen sense of his- torical perspectives. The stage pre- sentation of ”l3vang4-line" was par- ticularly creditable to the Acadians of Miscoiiche, our honoured and loyal fellow-citizens. It might well be put on again at some less busy time.

So many Acadiane have risen to high places in Church and State that one hesitates to select one for spec- ial mention at this time. However, without displeasing anyone, whether Acariian or non-Acadian, it can be said of tlw Rev. Martin Monaghan. who spent practically his entire min- istry in Miscouche and who was privileged to come back for Sunday's celebration, as Mr. Longfellow said of the priest in his tale of Acadie, "revered walked be among them.”

Unusual Harmony

As in the case of the summit par- ley that preceded it, the Geneva atoms for peace conference has and- ed without having accomplished anything very wonderful in the way of ensuring peace through co-oper- ation. That, of course, was the for- mal objective of both meetings. In the first, the co-operation sought was political. in the second. scienti- fic. But. azaiii as in the case of the summit parley. the conference that ended Sunday did set. the pattern for more detailed agreements among Hie powers at some future date, fol- lowing surveys and appraisals of those tentative agreements which emerged from the recent discussions.

Perhaps the most important piece of information was supplied by the British delegates who outlined their country's plans for use of atomic energy for industrial pur- poses almost immediately. Again, as in the mid-18th century, Britain leads in the technical-aspects of in- dustrialization. The exchange of a limited number of technical details regarding the development of atomic energy by the United States and the Soviet. Union was of great impor- tance; perhaps not as much for the actual information exchange as for the indication of better relations be- tween the two countries. No longer than a year ago any such exchange of secrets would have been unthlnk. IMO. LAD noteworthy for the

been out of the question a year ago. In a sense, it will mean a lifting of

-the iron curtain-or, at least, one

corner of it. i .

More significant than anything else in the fact: that-so far as one may judge from reports-not a single unpleasant incident or quar- relsome word was in evidence for the entire period of the conference. Of no other international meeting- not even the summit meeting itself -in the last ten years could this be said.

The Cheese Situation

A recent statement made by Mr. D. A. B. Marshall, Canada's com- mercial secretary in London, con- tains both good and bad news for the country's cheese producers. It says that, by keeping quality at a high level, sales to the British market could very well advance to 15,mil- lion pounds annually from the pres- ent low figure of 4 million. This is an encouraging prediction; and, since it is admitted everywhere that Canadian cheddar is the finest in the world, it ought not be difficult to convert the prediction into a reality. Even that increase would mean a tremendous stimulus to an important agricultural business that has fallen on difficult times.

The bad news in Mr. Marshall's statement is that there is little hope of increasing exports to the pre-war level of 75 million pounds. This does not indicate that the British have lost their traditional liking for cheese, nor does it mean that their appetite for the Canadian product has deteriorated. It is simply a matter of dollars and cents which, despite the decreasing emphasis on such prosaic items by present-day economic planners, seem to be bold- ing their own in world business. If Canadian producers could be satis- fied with ten cents a pound less than the current price, the British market wouki take every pound they could send over, and ask for more. Mr. Marshall who, doubtless, has explor- ed the situation and the prospects from every angle, says that this is "manifestly impossible". If that is the last word on the subject, pre- sumably there is nothing that? any- one can do about it. It is a pity, nevertheless, that when all other necessary conditions are satisfactory,' the inability to arrive at mutually acceptable financial arrangements should be permitted to. keep Can- adian cheddar from assuming its rightful place in the world's best market.

The permanent campsite of the 427-square mile training area is scheduled for completion by Dec- ember 1956 and early in the next year more than a brigade of sold- ierx 47,500! will settle there with their families.

This military settlement at Or- omocto, on the northwest corner of the camp will be the third largest "city" in New Brunswick. a fact which gives som idea of the impact of the Army's invasion on the Saint .lohn River Valley.

New Brunswick. for the most part left behind in the march of Canadian progress, is hoping to pick tip the step. The rumble of military vehicles. the discov- ery of mineral deposits on the north shore. are portents of busy times to come. It may well

i be that the province is heading l for a ncw era of opulence. akin

to the rich days of the sailing ships when Saint .lolin was a major port. v

But so far in this new age. the most tangible. llL'l7.Ed development is the building of the huge egg-shaped army camp on land settled originally by United Empire Loyalists from New Eng- land.

When the Army arrived last year, it found 3.000 descendants of these settlers still working the unproductive landd The nulltary compensated the people for the farms and the healthy timber

time of the American Revolution passed into military bands.

For the most part. displace- tncnl nt civilians was without in- cideni. The Army said only ii few objected. Still others are on the land and will remain there iinlil thev complete the timber-cutting contracts they hold with the new owners.

Lumberjacks are working on a rush basis to clear the 275,000 acres of wooded land the Army wants for tank driving. artillery and rifle ranges and atcommodation areas. The hillsides are aizlow this summer with fires of stacked un- dcrgrowth. the residue left after timber has been cleared away.

Now that the division-size exercise is completed, the truckers can move along more swiftly with their loads of forest wealth.

Two new military roads are being constructed over the 26-mile length of the camp. leaving the so-called Broad Highway (two lanes) between Fredericton and Saint John relatively free for cilil- isn autos. One of the new roads will connect with the exisitng high- way system while the other is planned mainly to transport troops into simulated battles.

Towards the centre of the ci-imp. where clearing operations are now underway. an entire division will be able to hold manoeuvres by 1957. It is the Army's idea to make this area a ”ressonable facsimile"

of the North German Plain. The .

rounded mountains. the sloping plains, make the entire area one of the most diversified in Can- ada and suitable for most any t"pe of military exercise.

Small arms. mortar. medium machine gun. rocket launching and artillery ranges. tracked

and wheeled drivina areas. all have their place within the new calm.

Following the first divisional exercise. the general area is mark- ed by the tracks and wheels of more than 1,500 .rmy vehicles. But an effort will be made to avoid ready-made tactical situations. Every weapon pit and gun cm- placement will be levelled off to give a fresh start to manoeuvres in the future.

The campsite is located on high ground overlooking the confluence of the Giomoctn and Saint John rivers. To the westward is Fred- ericton. the inspiration for poets Bliss Carmen and Charles G. D. Roberts and still ranked as one of the leading literary towns In Canada.

But Fredericton. peaceful and nlacid among the elm trees along the Saint John River. will be eclipsed in size by the new dev- elnomenl.

The development. dispersed over the abundant countryside, will have the most modern cement highways. stores, hospital and ela- borate drainaize systems. Across the main highway will he the mil- itary town. to be built amoni! s eniies of evergreen trees.

The camp area is noted as a good fish and game area. But civilians are. not allowed to hunt. The Army has announced'tbat the restriction was imposed to protect this property. Otherwise. there are no fences surrounding tlic camp.

l Honouring Longfellow ,

(Ottawa Journal)

Down at Grand Pr: last week' Acadians. commemorating their famous exile. unveiled a monu- ment to Longfellow. They did it out of gradllude for one whose ”Evangeline" did more to make t":-ir banishment remembered-and regretted-thn all the history books together.

But a monument to Longfellow at any place or time the was the first American poet to be honored by a bust in the poet's corner of Westminster Abbey) would be fit- ting. He was never of the giants of poetry. not to be ranked with the Sliakespeares or lilillons or Shel- leys of England. nor even with if American contemporary Whitman who never so captured the hearts of his countrymen. Yet Longfellow, cried down by sophisticates today. dismissed as and a moralisl to boot. not men- tioned in the same breath with the Eliols, the spenders and the Aud- ens. in short sborn of all esteem by the highbrows. was only last Sunday the subject of eulogy by that delightfully civilized Scot.

What is the worst summer-time, pest? That's easy. it is the Inca- qulto. I don't think many of you will argue with me about that. Even with all our mosquito '-' programs and household insecu- cldes. some of those pesky little insectsmsnnnetonlpusnumarouni times through the summer. i No Special Target

Maybe you think you've been singled out an a special target. but this is not so. Mosquitoes are prelty democratic. They will bite just about anybody who is not protected. At least the females will and they are the ones. who , do the biting.

For some mysterious reason. a female mosquito cannot lay her eggs after she has mated until she has a blood meal. That is when she seeks you out and sinks her proboscis into your arm or

leg. Protective Measures

However. there are many things you can do to protect yourself.

Insect-repellent candles are re- ported to be pretty good when you are just sitting around out doors. And there are numerous repellent solutions on the market

An especially effective one is a solution of two parts ethyl hex snedlol. two parts indalone and six parts dimcthyl phthallale which can be bought in youi neighborhood drug store. Rub it on your skin and mosquitoes will shy away from you for from two to four hours.

You can get immunity for up to three weeks if you douse your clothing with this repellent. It might be best to use old clothing, because the solution will remain effective even after washing. Llslit Colors Are Best

The color and type of clothing . also reportedly ilsys an impor- tant part in repelling mosquitors.

Tests conducted by a Canadian professor, a few years ago. showed that mosquitoes were most in- trigued by dark-colored clothes. Light summery colors won't at- tract tliem as readily, according to the tests. And, apparently, mosquitoes hate green most of all. Shiny Fabrics

The reports also indicate that g mosaultoes do not like shiny ma- 1 tcrlsls. such as satin. l

Since these little pests are es- T pecislly attracted to warm. moist bodies, you're probably more apt to be bitten if you are persplrlng. They also like the carbon dioxide of human breath.
